Her Majesty’s Record of Needlework, Knitting and Royal Proclamations

She Beat Me!

My friend Lisa finished her Frances Burwell sampler, but she isn’t online, so I can’t even show you a picture! So you get to see my progress instead. There are a few rows to go after I finish the house row.

I have also been working on a UFO here and there, it’s called Old Glory and is a small Shepherd’s Bush kit that I’ve started maybe 4 years ago. I’ve been dragging it around in my bag and pull it out when I’m waiting around doctor’s offices, in the park watching Max play, while watching a movie with DH. My Frances is on my scroll rods and floor stand, which I keep in my craft room.

Last weekend I took Max to the beach on Saturday and the Maine Wildlife Park, both of which were a huge success as you can see. The Wildlife Park was much better than the zoo we had gone to before and is only about 5 miles from our house – so we will definitely be going back. See happy kid pictures:

DH has been sick with a persistent, awful cold for about 10 days now. Which means he has been a persistent, awful pain in the butt. So between taking care of him and Max, I’ve been too busy to stitch or blog, which has been making me very cranky! But tomorrow I am going to Patti‘s house to stitch, so hopefully I will come home rejuvenated and happy and ready to take care of the boys.
